Chiropractic Rehabilitation

Rehab focuses on the soft tissue component of a problem. Soft tissues include the muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, and fascia.

Long-term changes occur in these tissues from repeated micro-traumas (such as poor posture, vibration, and repetitive motions), muscle imbalances, and major traumas (such as accidents and falls). Most of the changes are subtle, but the issues are cumulative. Over time, things will worsen. Addressing these issues in addition to joint dysfunction and neurologic issues is vital.

Every case is different. These are some of the rehab techniques and tools used here:

  • Myofascial Release Technique
  • Active Muscle Rehab Techniques
  • Instrument-based Muscle Stripping Techniques
  • Flexion Distraction
  • Home Stretching and Strengthening

Traction

For certain injuries, traction is very valuable as a treatment to speed the healing process.

Disc injuries that may respond well to treatment are:

  • disc tears
  • herniations
  • bulges
  • sciatica

Traction has been shown as an effective treatment to manage these injuries in a non-surgical way. Disc injuries can be among the most painful injuries imaginable – causing neurological symptoms like extremity numbness, shooting pains, and even weakness.

Our Triton DTS Traction unit is state of the art. It is capable of both cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) traction – controlled by an advanced computer model. Combined with chiropractic care, this has done wonders for our patients.

Acupuncture

Dr. Tasky is also trained to offer acupuncture. Although there are myriad acupuncture purposes, styles, techniques, Dr. Tasky uses it as a neuromuskuloskeletal complement to chiropractic care – focusing on the tissues that are in the area of dysfunction.
